```k8s.core.v1.Service.get("istio-ingressgateway", "istio-system/istio-ingressgateway")```

They are always installed on namespace `istio-system` with the same names, you can get them as a external resource.

<@USC68LB3J> is there a way to patch this resource via Pulumi?

Want to try and assign a static IP (it’s ephemeral by default)

I mean the equivalent to: `kubectl patch`

Yes there is, you can import the resource into Pulumi so it can be managed by it.
I don't remember how exactly, I did it to import resources created with terraform.
I'm on my phone now, if no one finds it till I get to my PC to check I'll send it here.

```new k8s.core.v1.Service(
  "istio-ingressgateway",
  {
  // The service definition as if it was not created automatically, you'll have to manage it completely
  },
  {
    import: 'istio-system/istio-ingressgateway'
  },
);```

this is what I needed, thank you <@USC68LB3J> - life saver
